Chapter 144: Second Rank Proliferating Flesh, Turning the Dark Forest into Flesh?

"Father, the program writing is complete."

Ling'er came to the side of the mechanical core manufacturing device, and in a short while, she finished writing the program for the Heavenly Eye Watchtower's mechanical core.

To her, writing the program for the mechanical core was an extremely simple task.

Afterwards, Su Hao placed the silver alloy into the instrument; according to the information displayed on the instrument, he estimated that refining this core to completion would take about five hours.

"Five hours......"

Su Hao glanced at the time, and his brows furrowed slightly.

After a little more than an hour, it will be the second day; today he still has three synthesis opportunities unused, and after passing 12 o'clock, the synthesis count will refresh; if he just misses them like that, it would be too wasteful.

However, with Ling'er, who possesses divinity, beside him, rashly using the Synthesis Heart would be too risky.

If, because of Ling'er, he had to give up synthesis, he would probably have to wait until returning to the sanctuary before he could start synthesis with peace of mind.

After all, judging from Ling'er's current behavior, she doesn't seem like she'll leave; if she follows him all the way, wouldn't he be unable to start synthesis at all?

"Let's give it a shot!"

After some thought, Su Hao still decided to start synthesis now.

However, even if he were to synthesize, he couldn't just use the Synthesis Heart right in front of Ling'er.

Afterwards, Su Hao casually found an excuse, went to the corner of the wall, took out a secret gauze cover, bent down and crawled inside, and began today's third synthesis.

As for what to synthesize, Su Hao had already decided before entering: the first things to synthesize were proliferating flesh and infected cells.

Today, in the T235 Experimental Base, Su Hao gained an intuitive understanding of the strength of hellish demons, especially the combat power of the Hellfire Pumpkin Head.

Its self-destruct power is simply too strong! Moreover, while on the underground first level, he obtained over two hundred thousand energy crystals.

After returning, as long as there are sufficient raw materials, these energy crystals would be enough for Su Hao to refine an army composed of thousands, even tens of thousands, of hellish demons.

To obtain sufficient raw materials more quickly, the best method is to synthesize proliferating flesh and infected cells once.

Especially the infected cells, Su Hao had long wanted to synthesize them.

Proliferating flesh, as long as it is divided into many pieces and given sufficient energy, its proliferation speed will not be slow.

However, for infected cells to copy a piece of tissue, the required time is relatively long; if only copying a dozen or twenty copies, this time is not a problem.

But if copying several thousand or tens of thousands of pieces, the required time would be very long.

Therefore, to quickly build an army of hellish demons, it is best to synthesize the infected cells once.

Coincidentally, Su Hao brought several hundred kilograms of infected cells and proliferating flesh when he went out this time.

After making up his mind, he immediately took out 300 kilograms of infected cells and proliferating flesh, divided them into three equal parts, and used the Synthesis Heart once on each.

These two items are only of First and Second Rank in Supernatural Grade, and the time required for synthesis is relatively short.

In a short while, accompanied by a dazzling light, the original proliferating flesh and infected cells disappeared, turning into two completely new items that appeared before Su Hao's eyes. The original 300 kilograms of proliferating flesh became a fist-sized lump of bright red flesh, but its density was extremely high; just this fist-sized small piece weighed nearly ten kilograms.

On the surface of this lump, dense meat buds grew, moving irregularly, and by absorbing energy from the air, it increased its own volume at a visible speed.

【Second Rank Proliferating Flesh】

Supernatural Grade: Second Rank

Effect: Proliferating flesh can absorb energy from any surrounding object to increase its volume……

"Not bad; it seems the growth speed has increased, and the channels for absorbing energy have also increased."

After looking at the content displayed in the appraisal result, Su Hao smiled slightly and nodded in satisfaction.

After synthesis, the proliferating flesh can not only achieve self-proliferation by absorbing the energy of energy crystals,

but also can achieve self-proliferation by absorbing energy from the air and from any surrounding object's internal energy, increasing its volume.

Moreover, it is clearly noticeable that the growth speed of Second Rank proliferating flesh is much stronger than that of First Rank.

Through the proliferating flesh just now, absorbing energy from the air increased its speed.

Su Hao can confirm that, after synthesis, the Second Rank proliferating flesh's growth speed is at least ten times that of First Rank, which is quite outrageous! According to this situation, when the proliferating flesh grows to one or two tons, even if it only absorbs energy from the air, its daily natural growth speed would equal the amount of growth that First Rank proliferating flesh would obtain from consuming one energy crystal.

If the proliferating flesh grows to several hundred or even thousands of tons, as long as it is placed in an uninhabited area and allowed to fully absorb energy from the air, earth, and all surrounding objects, it can increase a considerable portion of its volume each day.

"Emmm, if we synthesize proliferating flesh with contaminated meat lumps, could it both absorb energy from the interiors of surrounding objects and assimilate those objects into flesh?"

Su Hao rubbed his chin, feeling that this possibility is not nonexistent; in fact, it's quite likely.

However, Su Hao is somewhat worried that if they really synthesize these two, and if not controlled, it might transform an entire forest into flesh, becoming a supernatural item that alters the environment.

"To hell with it; as long as it's beneficial to me, no matter how it changes the environment, it's good."

"Besides, the Dark Forest isn't exactly a benevolent place; turning it into flesh for my complete use would also be a good thing!"

Su Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold light flashed in them, he made up his mind, and after returning, he would take out some proliferating flesh and contaminated meat lumps to synthesize.

If the synthesized item truly possesses the ability to alter the environment.

Then Su Hao, in the Dark Forest, would choose a spot at an appropriate distance from his territory, place this new item on the ground.

And dispatch a Supernatural Grade Third Tier Bloodsucking Demonic Vine to guard it, using it as a base to establish a sub-base.

"We'll talk about it after we return!"

Su Hao stopped thinking further; this time he came out without taking out the infected meat lump, and if he wanted to synthesize, he would have to wait until after returning.

Afterwards, Su Hao stored the Second Rank proliferating flesh in his Storage Bag, turned his gaze to the right, and saw a clump of blood-red meat paste.
